RIGHTEOUS WAR NOT
HELL—DR. WHEELER
President TVheeler of the University
of California thinks that a righteous
v.ar is not of the sort that can be
compared with hell. President Wheeler
believes the Balkan war Is more
"righteous than hell," and he adds,
"Let the sword bo drawn streaming
blood red."
President Wheeler spoke of "War
and Hell" during his lecture at the
Y. M". C. A. yesterday afternoon, and
he was greeted with applause.
"They say war is hell," he said, "but
the Balkan-Turkish war has more
righteousness than hell. Every person
present wants Turkey driven back. If
you can not get arbitrators to do it,
if you can not get lawyers to do it,
tiien let the sword be streaming blood
red.
"This Balkan war is a struggle of a
liberty loving people to free themselves
from Turkish domination which the
powers have been fastening upon them:
it is a struggle between freedom and
fatalism and goes back into the roots
of history. *
In the fifteenth century Moham
medanism pushed its way almost to
the gates of Vienna, a shock from
which Kurope Is just now recovering.
Kaces from the cold north found their
nutlet the warmer south through the
Kalkan peninsula. On this account
there is congregated in this region a
mixture of peoples. Jealousy is there
in the highest degree.
"The powers are jealous as to who
shall come into control. Germany has
been fraternizing with the sultan with
a view to securing an outlet for her in
creasing industry. England opposes
Russia, which is eager to have a gate
way into the Mediterranean. Now,
Germany, with its mighty engines of
war, is for peace and with Austria Is
holding things steady on the continent,
"The upheaval on the part of the
young Turk party will no doubt check
ihe movement southward, for it is clear
That four buffer states will be formed—
Albania, Montenegro, Servia and Bul
garia.
"Somehow this war will work out for
the good of the world, since behind
the curtain Is the thought and purpose
of God, in whom we all exist, whose
will is righteousness and who will
reign king of the nations." -
At the meeting George C. Boardman
Jr. presided, the Berkeley Male Clef
and the California orchestra rendered
musical selections.

Early Woman Was Boss
More Important Than Man
In the early beginnings of civ
ilization woman was more im
portant than. man. according to
K. \V. Gilford, assistant curator
of the Affiliated Colleges depart
ment of ethnology, who lectured
in the museum yesterday on
♦♦Woman as a Social Factor In
the Evolution of the Race." the
second of a. series on "The. Rise
of Woman.**
The lecturer, who Illustrated
his talk, declared that formerly
man inherited Ms mother's prop
erty and name, and this, because
of the uncertainty of paternity
in those days, gave a certain
predominance to womankind.
He said a return of tbls con
dition was unlikely because
woman has more real prestige
now than then.
AIRSHIP BUILDER
FALLS INTO LAKE
After Second Attempt New
Machine Mounts Into Air
and Then Collapses
Continued From Page 1
less than a minute appeared on t-he
surface of the water.
Paterson was uninjured, and after
swimming (9 shore went down town
for a change of clothes. He then re
turned to the lake and assisted in the
work of raising the sunken machine.
MACHINE CAREENS BEFORE FALL
The fall came as the climax to the
second attempted flight of the day.
Pnterson first tried to fly at noon, but
the engine was working properly
and the machine refused to leave the
surface of the lake.
At 3 o'clock he made his second at
tempt, and succeeded In rising to an
elevation of more than 100 feet. The
announcement that the flight would be
made this afternoon had attracted a
large crowd of men and women, and
these were watching the graceful flight
of Paterson's machine when the acci
dent came. .
Suddenly Paterson dropped to a low
er level and turned his 'plane in the
direction of Lake Shore boulevard, j
along the eastern edge of the lake.
After he had flown for a few minutes
in this direction the machine was seen
to careen violently to one side and
then to fall.
When the wind caught Paterson he
was dangerously near to the shore, a
fall on which might have meant in
stant death.
Paterson fell, however, out from the
shore and disappeared beneath the wa
ter with his damaged mechanism.
The water at this point is 10 feet
deep, sufficient to cover the hydro
plane and its pilot.
HYDROPLANE BADLY DAMAGED
The machine is badly damaged, but
not beyond repair. It fell sideways
into the lake, imbedding one of its
wings in the mud at the bottom. The
rudder and pontoons were broken off
in the fall and removed to T. M. Ken
dall's boathouse in Thirteenth street.
A device also was sent out from the
boathouse to assist in raising the hy
droplane.
The wings, pontoons and other minor
parts ww« smashed to bits, but the
engine will not suffer from the acci
dent.
Paterson's machine is said to be the
first of the design ever constructed in
this country. It was driven by a 50
horsepower six cylinder motor.

LODGING HOUSE
IS BURNED DOWN
Entire Top Floor Bursts
Into Flames at Once;
Suspect Incendiarism
Fire of mysterious origin destroyed
a 28 room lodging house of cheap con
struction at the corner of Eighteenth
and Valencia streets last evening. Nar
row passageways, without windows,
forming horizontal chimneys for -smoke,
made the fire a difficult one to handle,
but by quick work the damage was
confined principally to the lodging
house.
The Old Reliable saloon, of which
William Howekamp Is proprietor, on
the floor beneath was slightly dam
aged. Crossed wires are suggested as
possibly the cause of the fire.
Only the fact that the fire occurred
early In the evening, when the ma
jority of the 23 lodgers were out, pre
vented loss of life, as the had
made great headway before persons
In the street sounded the alarm. Four
were In the lodging house at the time.
The fact that the entire top floor of
the frame structure burst into flames
at practically the same time at first
suggested that the building had been
set on* fire. Fire Chief Towle and De
tectives J. J. Mannion and G. 11. Rich
ards are working on the case.
Those in the house were William
Berger, proprietor; John Moberge, a
carpenter; Mrs. Ida Paladi and L. G.
Koenig, a. contractor and builder. The
four were together, awaiting the meet
ing hour In the Swedish Mission
church,.near by.
The structure was owned by Mrs. E.
Illig of 3487 Eighteenth street, who
estimated her loss at $3,000. Berger's
loss was about $1,000. Both carried
insurance. *

BIG CONCESSIONS MADE
TO GARMENT STRIKERS
Higher Wages and Shorter
Hours Offered; End of
Strike Seems Near
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The strike of
garment workers of this city seemed
tonight in a fair way of settlement as
far as the majority of the strikers is
concerned.
At a conference today a proposition
providing- for a sliding- scale of wage
increases to be applied to both regular
and piece workers, and a 52 hour week,
was made to leaders of the United Gar
ment Workers of America by repre
sentatives of manufacturers employing
about 75,000 of the more than 100,000
garment workers who have been on
strike for four weeks.
That the union representatives ten
tatively accepted the proposal* agree
ing to place it before their executive
board for final action, is accepted as a
favorable development.
The proposition of the Manufac
turers* and Merchants' associations
and the Clothing Contractors* asso
ciation as tentatively acceped, calls
for an immediate increase of 10 per
cent for all -workers receiving $12 a
week or less, 7% per cent for all work
ers receiving more than $12 and less
than $15, and for all receiving more
than $15 an increase of 5 per cent. In
no case is the increase to be less than
$1 a week.
The New York Clothing trades asso
ciation, which has refused to recognize
; the union or to deal with its repre-
I sentatlves, is not a party to the agree
ment.
A letter addressed to the union of
ficials and signed by the representa
tives of the two manufacturers' asso
ciations, agreeing to carry out their
part of the contract, will be delivered
i tomorrow.
FRANK BAWLING
FOR FLY BRUSH
Park Horse Mistakes Buffalo's
Tail for Grass and
Eats It
Frank Gotch, the young- buffalo bull
who has succeeded to the leadership
of the herd in Golden Gate park, is on
a rampage. If his angry bellows
could be interpreted into English it
would be found that the object of his
wrath is a white horse named Pete,
used for trucking purposes by the
park employes, who has robbed him
of his kingly tail.
Unlike most park horses Peto re
fuses to get fat, although his appetite
is unflagging. Saturday while Frank
was peacefully cropping graßS near
the wire fence which incloses him
with his admiring cows and ""progeny.
Pete, turned loose for a brief holiday
in a neighboring field, trotted up to
the fence and began to nibble at what
his near sighted eyes told him was a
lovely shrub, but which proved to be
the caudal appendage of the buffalo
leader.
For about four minutes there was
wild excitement, for Pete was once a
well trained saddle animal, and, feeling
the shrub slipping between his teeth,
he laid back in his tracks and refused
to let go of the choice morsel. Some
thing had to give way, and the some
thing proved to be the buffalo's tail.
The cows refuse to look at their
Brigham Young husband and Frank
paws deep holes in the ground as he
breathes bull threats of vengeance.
For proof see Sergeant McGee.

EARL ROGERS DAUGHTER
SENT HOME FORCIBLY
Stage Plans Frustrated by
W. E. Travis of Taxi ■
Company
Plans for a stage career secretly made
by Miss Adela Rogers, the 17 year old
daughter of Earl Rogers, the Los Ange
les attorney who is defending Clarence
Darrow, were frustrated last night
when W. E. Travis, president of the
Taxicab Company of California, acting
on telephonic orders from Los Angeles,
forcibly removed Miss Rogers from the
Columbia theater hnd rushed her to
the Southern Pacific depot where she
was paced on the 10 o'clock train for
Los Angeles.
The father ordered his daughter's re
turn, believing that she intended to be
come the wife of Ralph Morgan, leading
man of the "Broadway Jones" company.
Morgan, by the way, has a wife now
living in the east.
Miss Rogers came to San Francisco
on January 20, supposedly to visit Miss
Edith Luckett, a member of the
"Broadway Jones" company, who vis
ited Miss Rogers in Los Angeles.
Friends of the Los Angeles beauty
say that she was in San Francisco to
rehearse a vaudeville skit which she
hoped to have accepted in Chicago.
Miss Rogers attended every perform
ance of "Broadway Jones" and de
lighttd in the theatrical atmosphere.
When Mr. Travis took Miss Rogers
from the theater and rushed her, weep
ing, to the Third anu Townsend street
depot the young girl was still in even
ing dress. She admitted that Morgan
had been very attentive to her, but de
nied that she had any intention of
eloping with him.
While at the St. Francis Miss Rog
ers was the guest of Mrs. Travis.
STABBED WHILE
AIDING ANOTHER
Oil Worker Seeks to Rescue
Hotel Man; Probably
Fatally Hurt
Prank Jones, an oil worker 31 years
old, is dying at the central emergency
hospital as the result of his effort to
assist Justin Tuile, proprietor of the
Southern hotel, 496 Sixth street, who
was being attacked in front of his
hotel desk by five men, two of whom
were cripples. Jones was stabbed sev
eral times by one of th» five.
The five strangers, Including the two
; cripples on crutches, entered the hotel
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and asked
Tuile if a man named Hickey was
stopping there.
On being informed he was not one
of the men said: "You need not be so
fresh about it" and struck Tuile. A
fight followed.
The hotel man was being badly
beaten by the five thugs, and in the
scrimmage the "cripples" showed an ac
tivity out of of all proportion to their
physical defects.
Jones, who resides at the hotel, heard
the row from a room adjoining the
lobby and went to Tulle's assistance.
He put up a good fight but one of the
desperadoes crept up behind him and
stabbed him twice in the back, in one
wound turning the knife. This wound,
alone would produce death.
Falling to the floor Jones was
stabbed again and lost consciousness.
The five thugs then made their escape.
